The new government in Ukraine is violating human rights and oppressing national minorities, a Poland-based NGO said, adding that the actions of the Maidan leaders would be considered illegal in most EU states.

Mateush Piskorski, a Polish MP and head of the European Center
for Geopolitical Analysis, said: “The dominant political
forces who participated in the so-called Euromaidan” are calling
“for major violations of human rights, mainly to violations of
the rights of national minorities.”

Piskorski told Itar-Tass that his organization sent several
groups of experts to Ukraine during the unrest.

They interviewed the protesters and gathered all sorts of
materials, including leaflets distributed by the Maidan activists
in the streets.

“It’s not hard to detect calls for incitement of ethnic
hatred [in those materials],” the Polish MP said.

According to the data gathered by the observers, representatives
of national minorities, Hungarians in particular, do not feel
safe under the new authorities in Ukraine, Piskorski said.

Piskorski said that Ukraine is engulfed in a wave of political
repressions, which are aimed not only against the representatives
of the Party of Regions’ ousted president, Viktor Yanukovich,
“but other political parties and associations, for example,
the Communists.”

“We’ve have heard a lot about cases of physical attacks on
representatives of the parties, which are in opposition to the
new government,” he said.

Piskorski said that the main political powers which staged the
Maidan, “would’ve been labeled as neo-Nazi or neo-Fascist in
any mainstream civilized European state.”
“Those are the forces, whose activities would most likely be
banned in most of the EU states,” he said.

Since the ousting of President Yanukovich on February 22,
Ukraine’s new rulers have many times proven that Russia’s warning
to the West about the hard consequences of supporting the
radicals are far from being groundless.

Another hardcore nationalist currently making waves in Ukraine is
Aleksandr Muzychko, who went on a rampage
against the authorities in Rivno Oblast, lashing out at a local
prosecutor and threatening the regional parliament with an AK-47.

On Wednesday, the Lugansk office of the Party of Regions issued a
statement, demanding an end to psychological terror and political
persecution of its members by the new authorities.

Those who seized the power in the country by force have
“unleashed a shameless cleansing policy against all
dissidents,” the statement said.

According to the Party of Regions, “armed thugs freely ride
around the towns and villages, intimidating the population. The
sense of impunity and support from some MPs prompts the creators
of the ‘new order’ to urge the people in the southeast regions of
Ukraine to humbly surrender to the winners.”
